I love working out and I know once I get back into a regular schedule it will make me feel great, it's just taking that first step and getting past the newborn fatigue! It's awesome that the Y there has such a great childcare center!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17096162109331423039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792230668226449168.post-49063336407479111422011-06-18T11:54:24.195-04:002011-06-18T11:54:24.195-04:00Happy training! You're going to do awesome! ...Happy training! You're going to do awesome! I'm glad everyone is coming down for it because they'll be able to tell your kids about it (when they are old enough to understand how long a half marathon is) and your kids will be able to hear from everyone how awesome you are!<br /><br />I did a full last year, and my only piece of advice would be to add a couple days a week of plyometric/weight training to replace running. I started with Hal Higdon and toward the end I cut down the mid week "longish" runs and increased my weight training. I didn't experience the fatigue that my running partner did during the race...and she easily ran more miles than me. I think the weight training really helped me. <br /><br />Anyway, I know you've done this before but I never would have thought that weights would have been that much of a help so I try and pass it along when I can. <br /><br />Love the blog, Jill! You rock (& roll, apparently! :))Jenni Stearnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441402355671586713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792230668226449168.post-58054871602538486652011-06-18T10:07:51.088-04:002011-06-18T10:07:51.088-04:00You're such an inspiration! I haven't run ...You're such an inspiration! I haven't run a half yet, the longest I've done is a 10K and that was before baby. And good for you for being so determined to get into awesome shape after baby. Unfortunately, it seems some women sacrifice their health and well-being, using the excuse "Well, I am a mom now so I am not supposed to be thing and in shape."<br /><br />We thinking about joining the Y because the temps here around about 105-110 in the summer and the post gym doesn't have childcare. Your post prompted me to tell Clay that we're going to visit it today to see if it will meet our needs. :)<br /><br />Happy running!<br /><br />KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
